Wow someone is getting ready for $100+ oil/barrel embargo

He's bluffing. Moving assets to Asia won't protect them because no major banks would openly flout U.N. sanctions. If funds are being shifted at all, it's simply to say, "Look how much money and business you'll be losing out on if you put sanctions on us. But we'll move it all back if you let us have some nukes." They know that the West will sell them the rope to hang themselves with.

Here is what Clinton said at a meeting on the margins of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last year:

“Iran today is, in a sense, the only country where progressive ideas enjoy a vast constituency. It is there that the ideas that I subscribe to are defended by a majority.”

And here is what Clinton had to say in a recent television interview with Charlie Rose:

“Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997). (It is) the only one with elections, including the United States, including Israel, including you name it, where the liberals, or the progressives, have won two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote in six elections: Two for president; two for the Parliament, the Majlis; two for the mayoralties. In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world I can say that about, certainly not my own.”

Actually, the Euros gave them early warning this past week that there might be a freeze. Guess what ? The ragheads took action to protect their assets.

Compare the moving of assets to Iran announcing nuclear tests in March.

They can tranfer everything on my bank account. It is safe there. ;-)

This is nothing short of an IQ test for Europe and the U.S., one they can't afford to fail. Sanctions aren't going to work. Diplomacy isn't going to work. Threats aren't going to work. There's only one thing left.
